Seems to be.: Apperently, these cancers tend to be localaized and are less aggressive than other renal cancers. If treated early, studies suggest that these have a relatively good prognosis. Also, if there is no necrosis or lymph node invasion, this tends to point to a favorable prognosis. With proper treatment, it appears that removal will free you of this cancer. Best of luck!

Depends: The main factor that will determine outcome is the pathological tumor stage, namely how big the tumor is, what other tissues or organs it may involve, and if there is lymph node invasion. Other important characteristics are sarcomatoid features and tumor grade. See the following link for more information. http://www.cap.org/apps/microsites/mybiopsy/kidney_renal_cell.html.

Yes: Sarcomatoid features, necrosis and lymph node invasion are all indicators of aggressive behavior so lacking all 3 are favorable indicators to your diagnosis.
